After Action Report

The Heat edged the Bulls 128-121. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it
